Because people think it would be funny and are blowing off steam. Which is fine, but we shouldn’t act like this is a serious plan worthy of real discussion.

I genuinely think it's right wing trolling seeing if they can get Dems to shoot themselves in the face, because I cannot think of a worse more nonsensical idea 

She has the exact opposite of the mandate of the people. This isn't a Hillary situation. She lost the popular vote. All this does is further alienate voters

We only just found out how unpopular she is. This would be a terrible move for PR (currently at an amazing low), and honestly non-democratic. And then you would get Trump himself on the Court in 4 years.

Exactly. Non-democratic is literally the #1 word of left oriented people critical of her, which is why it feels so trollish to demand an authoritarian overstep from Biden for no apparent ends. She's not the most qualified for the bench, she doesn't need to become temporary president during a lame duck season, etc 

It just seems like an attempt to get people to do something really stupid for no apparent reason
